Thorn Within

                        Forgive me, Father
For I have sinned
Find me guilty
Of the life I feel within

When I’m branded
This mark of shame
Should I look down
Disgraced
Or straight ahead
And know that you must blame?

I am the secret
I am the sin
I am the guilty
And I am, I am the thorn within

Forgive me, Father
For I have sinned
Find me guilty
When true guilt is from within

So point your fingers
Point right at me
For I am shadows
And will follow you
One and the same are we

I am the secret
I am the sin
I am the guilty
And I am, I am the thorn within

I do your time
I take your fall
I’m branded guilty
For us all

So point your fingers
Point right at me
For I am shadows
And will follow you
One and the same are we

I am your secrets
I am your sin
I am your guilty
And I am, I am the thorn within

I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
